As well known, all functionals of a Markov process may be expressed in terms of the generator operator, modulo some analytic work. In the case of spectrally negative Markov processes however, it is conjectured that everything can be expressed in a more direct way using the $W$ scale function which intervenes in the two-sided first passage problem, modulo performing various integrals. This conjecture arises from work on Levy processes \cite{AKP,Pispot,APP,Iva,IP, ivanovs2013potential,AIZ,APY}, where the $W$ scale function has explicit Laplace transform, and is therefore easily computable; furthermore it was found in the papers above that a second scale function $Z$ introduced in \cite{AKP} greatly simplifies first passage laws, especially for reflected processes. This paper gathers a collection of first passage formulas for spectrally negative Parisian Levy processes, expressed in terms of $W,Z$ which may serve as an "instruction kit" for computing quantities of interest in applications, for example in risk theory and mathematical finance. To illustrate the usefulness of our list, we construct a new index for the valuation of financial companies modeled by spectrally negative Levy processes, based on a Dickson-Waters modifications of the de Finetti optimal expected discounted dividends objective. We offer as well an index for the valuation of conglomerates of financial companies. An implicit question arising is to investigate analog results for other classes of spectrally negative Markovian processes.
